Ivy paused another moment, then asked, “Do you like dogs?”
“Definitely. I have a terrier at home named Oz. He’s very pesky.”
“Do you like ice cream?” Eve interjected.
“A bit.” Zoe looked at her seriously. “But I prefer sherbet.”
Eve’s lips scrunched as she pondered this. “Do you like climbing trees?”
“I love climbing.” Zoe smiled. “I used to be a gymnast.”
“Really?” Eve beamed. “I want to be a gymnast!”
Did she now? Last he’d heard she wanted to be either a princess or a unicorn. But he wasn’t exactly surprised. Both girls loved climbing.
Having apparently passed inspection, Zoe started walking with the girls toward the dog.
“I can’t climb trees in flip-flops,” Eve was saying.
“Well, maybe after we meet the puppy I’ll teach you how to climb in bare feet.”
Their voices faded to background babble. He let out a long sigh, then turned toward Josh. The former soldier was already on his feet.
“Good to see you.” A broad smile crossed Josh’s face as he reached out to clasp Leo on the back. “You’ve met Alex, right?”
“I have.” Leo stretched his hand out and shook Alex’s hand. “Theresa never told me you were a bodyguard.”
A wide grin crossed Alex’s face. “We do our best to keep it on the down low. Doesn’t always work, but we try. The work we do is one hundred percent confidential.”
“I noticed Zoe was wearing an earpiece.” Leo looked at Josh. “I take it she can hear our conversation, too?”
“Yep.” Josh turned his wrist toward Leo. There was a small microphone implanted in his watch. He had to admit, it was pretty impressive tech.
“I was surprised to hear from you.” Leo sat. “I thought you were on your honeymoon.”
“I am,” Josh said. “But it’s the second week and it’s hard to keep Samantha off the internet once she knows she’s onto something. She found something on The Anemoi’s message board we thought you should see.” Josh passed Leo his phone. Leo looked down at the picture the waiter had snapped of the vandalized poster of him and the girls. “Did you know that you’re The Anemoi’s next target?”
